The relationship between current distribution and transformer structure is investigated using finite-element analysis, to understand how to minimize copper loss caused by proximity effects. It is concluded that a slotted transformer design should be used if the magnetizing current is relatively large. A concentrated-gap and a distributed-gap structure give comparable results, although the distributed-gap design relies strongly on the exact permeability of the material and could suffer from higher core losses because all of the energy is stored in the magnetic material. In either case, the depth of the slot should be about 40% of its width.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":283605,"journal":{"name":"PESC '88 Record., 19th Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124563344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A type-one servosystem combined with an active filter is proposed to reconcile two opposing requirements, that, high-speed response and low ripple current, which seem to be incompatible in a usual power-supply system with a passive filter. Although the type-one servosystem and active filter in the combined system are designed independently, neglecting the interaction between them, satisfactory control performance can be achieved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":283605,"journal":{"name":"PESC '88 Record., 19th Annual IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133907327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
